Schedule for the Week of January 2-4

Welcome back after a nice long break! I hope this finds each of you well rested and excited for a fabulous new year!! The students have been a little tired today saying "My alarm was REALLY loud when it went off this morning Mrs. Koepp" :-) ... my response was "Oh, yes, I can relate!"....
